"What are you fucking doing? I told you to not come here," August growled as he grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

"How did you know I was here? How did you get here so fast?"

"I couldn't find you, and I could see you were curious about this floor. And I've been coming here for a much longer time than you, hence knowing a shortcut,"

"I'm just not revealing the shortcut to you just in case you take that route next time,"

He dragged me down the corridor.

"Stop it! You're hurting me!" I protested.

We stopped in front of the elevator. We took a fairly short time due to him taking bigger strides while pulling me along.

He let go of my hand which already had purple marks.

"I'm sorry Valarie. I just... didn't want you to go inside of that door," he said as he caressed the wound.

Valarie. He didn't call me angel.

"You really want to know what's inside huh?" He glanced at me as I nodded.

"That place will give you nightmares, angel. If you enter that place, hear the screams of pain, the shouts of terror, you'll regret going in. That place, is where all the punishments take place. You get what I said?"

"Everyone who broke the rules, go into that room. No one came back out. They either killed themselves in the middle of the punishments due to the amount of torture, or got killed by the officials in there. It's hell in there, Valarie. Hell. You don't want to go in there. You'll have nightmares every single day after seeing what's in there. You will never forget what's inside after putting your foot in there angel. And if you're unlucky, once you step in, you will have to be punished too because you're not supposed to even come to this level,"

"O-Oh," was all I could say.

Horrible imaginations filled my mind. Moaning, screaming, cries. Of terror. Pain. Agony. I shook the thoughts off as I winced.

"I'm... sorry," I muttered.

"It's alright. Where shall we go now? Home?"

"Home..." I whispered.

"Ruibin...."

"You want to see Ruibin? No, Val. I want to bring you but... you're under us now,"

"Bu-But,"

"Sorry but no is no, angel. I really would but... we need to listen to Adam. You can see him once Adam finds out what he wants about your parents. He'll let you go after he finds everything out,"

"Can we lie to him...? Please?" I begged. I was afraid that... I wouldn't be alive after Adam finds out everything about the Thana disease.

"Why? You can see him once Adam gets his information,"

"I'm dying, August. I might already be dead when Adam gets his information. I might even be dead tomorrow. I don't even know my death time, I only know I'm dying. I don't want any regrets. I want to see mg brother... and make sure that it's a proper goodbye. Please..?"
